PLEASE talk more about that immortal au scenario where the whole society time-travels. i've been daydreaming about this for a couple hours now (also, tell us about what henry thinks about modern food. specially fast food and soda.)

I dont think I'd be the whole society, that's like 20+ people, maybe just a handful?

Anyway, the whole time traveling scenario is probably the most confusing part of this au and im not sure how it works nor does it really matter. The important part is that they need the dna of everyone who was around to get back. (Just a stand of hair could work but it's probably not reccomended for such a large group)

Everyone involved was whoever this handful of lodgers is and Jekyll, although whatever method they used did not allow 1885 Jekyll to travel with them, It just forced him back at the society (because one cannot travel to a time where they are alive)

They fortunately can tell Jekyll is safe, just didn't travel with them. (They dont realize why Jekyll couldnt travel with them). And thus starts the quest to find dna similar enough to Jekyll to get back. So theyre looking to find Jekyll's great great something grandchildren (if he had any) they're really hoping he had some sort of close relative still around. They do some research and find out about a man named Jekyll who looks a bit like their Jekyll living in the mountains, turns out it is their Jekyll! He immortal now apparently! And really wants them off his property

Now. Jekyll could quite easily just give them what they need and let them be on their merry way. But he hates them and decides to be kind of an asshole and just. Not help. He's also rather lonely

Now saying Jekyll hates then may actually be a bit extreme. As I've stated in other posts of the au, he hates them because they betrayed him and didn't do the exhibition which did kinda cause the whole domino effect of him being immortal and alone. He hates Lanyon because Hyde hates Lanyon so obviously theres something going on there. And it's been over a century so he doesn't much feel any of the positive feelings for Lanyon anymore (this'd be less confusing if we knew their relationship but whatever) anyways it's been over a century so alot of his hate is from him wanting to hate them, wanting to hold a grudge. He stopped truly hating them awhile ago at this point

So the whole story is basically them trying to get Jekyll to help and Jekyll going out of his way to Not Do That. Eventually they do get back, idk how long they spend in the modern world but it cant be more than a month, and little to no time has passed in 1885. After they leave Jekyll goes out and gets Zosi so he can have an immortal old friend, and not be alone, maybe he even goes out and tries to find creature!

He drinks Dr. Pepper. and tbh his diet probably consists entirely of fast food, mac n cheese, and ramen noodles. Jekyll doesn't strike me as someone who'd put effort into meals so hes much enjoying not having to. But when he does remember that eating is important and can will himself to do it, he will go out and get something actually good for his body

I can imagine Jekyll having a very long curly hair and a so much beard that the Lodgers couldn't see that he got fat for all the fast food he is been eating
